Job description

About the company

the company’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to support our critical cloud deployments. In this role you will be an execution owner, driving coordination and collaboration across multiple engineering teams. You will also support the collaboration and technical execution between our internal engineering teams and our major cloud partners including Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry.

Your primary focus will be on ensuring tight coordination on engineering deliverables both within our internal teams and between our partner teams, enabling repeatable and efficient product development and launch pipelines for our AI models on third-party platforms. You will be responsible for aligning a range of business and technical stakeholders to drive execution of technical roadmaps, with a particular emphasis on optimizing our presence and performance.

This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on the company's growth and success in the cloud AI market, while working at the forefront of AI development and innovation.

Responsibilities

• Partner with engineering leaders to define, scope, and sequence major technical initiatives for cloud partnerships and AI model deployment, and own the plans, timelines, and resourcing to land them.
• Own launch readiness for Claude models on partner cloud platforms: checklist, blocker tracking, joint go/no-go with the partner, and post-launch stability follow-through.
• Act as the primary technical interface to cloud partner engineering orgs — owning the relationship, the shared roadmap, and day-to-day coordination on deployment, capacity, and incidents.
• Drive cross-functional alignment across internal engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to land joint deliverables with the partner.
• Provide clear and transparent reporting on program status, issues, and risks to executives and stakeholders.

You may be a good fit if you

• Have several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex technical programs, preferably involving cloud platforms and AI technologies.
• Have strong understanding of cloud computing architectures, AI/ML deployment, and integration challenges.
• Have exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, enabling you to influence without authority and build cross-organizational support.
• Have a high threshold for navigating ambiguity and ability to balance strategic priorities with rapid, high-quality execution.
• Thrive in fast-paced, scaling environments with the ability to bring order to chaos.
• Are passionate about the company's mission and committed to ensuring AI is developed safely.

Strong candidates may also have

• Direct experience with a hyperscaler's managed AI platform — Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, or Azure AI Foundry — including how partners list, launch, and onboard customers on it.
• Background in ML inference, model serving infrastructure, or accelerator-based compute.
• Have owned joint engineering roadmap or dependency tracking, driving incident follow-through, and converting open issues into a prioritized plan both sides commit to
• Experience with release engineering, deployment automation, or CI/CD for systems that ship to multiple targets or environments.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At the company we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long‑term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our
